developing an integrated picture of the intelligence required to 
effectively contribute to our civil support responsibilities in the 
three threat areas; increasing our future preparedness to deter, defend 
against, respond to, and attribute attack on the Nation by biological 
weapons; and addressing the current state of detection, identification, 
response and prevention of terrorist, subnational, or other 
unconventional nuclear attacks on the U.S.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II (1994)), it has
